Water heater start leaking in less that two years . I was very disappointed with this product.

I ordered this very same electric water heater for my other residence (changing from gas to all electric) and I love it. It's very easy to turn "off" when going out of town. Just a flip of the switch like turning off a light!!!

After looking at several stores I decided to go by Sears and see what they had available. I've used Kenmore products most of my life. The salesman was very helpful in find[ng the hot water heater I needed. Saved about $60 by going to Sears. Had the hot water heater loaded in my truck and headed home in less than 30 minutes.

We were able to load it on my daughter's Explorer and take it to my house. The packaged water heater was easy to maneuver and my handyman, reading the instructions, found it easy to install. After installation it heated up the water in less than 20 minutes.

Bought and installed one of these for Mom last summer. It hasn't had any problems and it heats considerably faster than the old one. So, I bought one to replace my own. Only took half an hour to remove the old one and install the new one. It has only been operational for a couple of weeks, but I don't expect any problems.
